🎃 Happy Halloween from the FIRST Team! 🎃 Today, we've celebrated the spooky season in style at our new PROTO space, indulging in festive treats like toffee apples and mince pies!

As we enjoy the festivities, we’re reminded of how we at FIRST believe in breaking barriers and bringing people together – whether through a festive nibble or by empowering learners to achieve their goals.

Last night FIRST attended an exciting networking event; the Startup Community Social, at Newcastle University. The event featured thought-provoking talks from @Dan Ellis BEM (Jam Jar Cinema), Tom Chandler (The Digital Lighthouse), and Laura Richards FCIPR (Idea Junkies), who openly shared their experiences of both triumphs and challenges in the entrepreneurial world. Their insights sparked valuable discussions and offered encouragement to those on their own business journeys. During the open mic session, the team introduced FIRST, highlighting our dedication to empowering individuals with entrepreneurial ambitions. ⭐️ #FIRST #Newcastleuniversity #Enterpriseskills

Last night I asked my FIRST Understanding Enterprise learners to choose a colour that represented their mood… My dog walk view this morning sums up mine perfectly… 🔵blues and 🌿greens for calmness different shades of 🟠orange and 🟡yellow from the sun for positivity and warmth What colour would you pick? And why?
